HR9237, Take Care of America’s Veterans Act
Expands veterans' benefits and modernizes VA care, claims adjudication, and oversight. The bill adds concurrent receipt for certain chapter 61 retirees, remakes appeals and Board rules, funds health programs and research, and requires many pilots and IT upgrades. - Veterans and families: Allows some chapter 61 retirees to receive military retired pay and VA disability pay at the same time and creates new supports like prosthetics coverage, bowel and bladder care stipends, service dog grants, expanded caregiver assistance, and education benefit tweaks. - Claims, appeals, and VA operations: Forces aggregation of related appeals with FFRDC guidance, creates a Board quality and training program, mandates automation plans for claims processing, and builds special protections and a public dashboard for military sexual trauma claims. - Health care, community partners, and research: Funds short‑term mTBI research grants, expands Veterans Community Care Program rules and telehealth, authorizes traveling physicians for territories and Freely Associated States, and provides major IT and construction funding including $500 million for IT and a $1.18 billion Manchester facility. Authorizes or appropriates at least $2.4 billion in specified spending, including $500 million for IT and $1.2 billion for a Manchester facility, increasing federal outlays over coming years.
HR4669, FEMA Act of 2025
FEMA becomes an independent, cabinet-level agency with a clarified all-hazards mission and consolidated federal leadership for preparedness, response, recovery, mitigation, and interoperable communications. The bill also rewrites large parts of the Stafford Act to speed repairs, expand assistance, strengthen mitigation, and publish new public dashboards for disaster spending and individual aid metrics. - Families and disaster survivors: Expands housing help with a FEMA Emergency Home Repair program, authorizes direct repair assistance, and extends some temporary assistance periods from 18 to 24 months. Noncongregate sheltering can be provided without a fixed address and states cannot require a credit card for hoteling. - State, Tribal, and local governments and utilities: Creates expedited Section 409 grants for repairing public and qualifying nonprofit facilities with a Federal share floor of 75% and incentives up to 85% for resilience. Offers small-disaster block grants equal to 80% of the estimated Federal public assistance share and sets a Tribal hazard-mitigation minimum of $75.0 million per year. - Private nonprofits and houses of worship: Treats private nonprofits and houses of worship as eligible for assistance without regard to religious character and expands nonprofit closeout and eligibility parity with governments.
HR4206, CONNECT for Health Act of 2025
Expands Medicare telehealth access by removing geographic limits and ending an in-person requirement for telemental health. It would also change payment rules for clinics and require more oversight, training, and data reporting. - Medicare beneficiaries would be able to receive telehealth across geographies beginning October 1, 2025. Telemental health would no longer require a six-month in-person visit and tribal and Native Hawaiian facilities would be exempt from originating-site rules starting January 1, 2026. - Federally Qualified Health Centers and Rural Health Clinics would be paid for telehealth under outpatient or prospective payment methods and telehealth costs as distant-site care would count as allowable PPS costs. The HHS Secretary could waive limits on which practitioner types may furnish telehealth starting October 1, 2025 with annual public comment and a three-year reassessment requirement. - The bill would strengthen program integrity funding for telehealth, require CMS to post quarterly telehealth data, and add telehealth to quality-measure reviews within 180 days. It also mandates a beneficiary engagement study and a Government Accountability Office report on hospice recertification within three years.
HR1163, Prove It Act
Stronger review and transparency for rules that affect small entities. This bill would expand how agencies analyze indirect costs on small businesses, let small entities petition the SBA Chief Counsel to review agency certifications, and require clearer publication and comment on guidance for rules with likely significant impacts. - Small entities and their downstream partners gain a formal petition route to the SBA Chief Counsel to challenge agency certifications. The Chief Counsel must screen petitions within 10 days and publish full-review results within 30 days. - Agencies would have to identify reasonably foreseeable indirect costs in initial regulatory analyses, post guidance and updates on regulations.gov for rules likely to have significant small-entity impacts, and participate in review meetings or face penalties and possible inapplicability of the rule to small entities. - Rules are subject to a 10-year periodic review that must include indirect costs. If an agency misses the review the Chief Counsel can notify that the rule ceased to be effective and the agency has 180 days to complete a reinstatement review.
HR9535, Securing Agriculture's Workforce Act of 2026
This bill would modernize and restructure the H‑2A nonimmigrant visa program to centralize authority, speed up hiring, and set new wage, housing, and worker-protection rules. It moves primary program authority to the Department of Homeland Security and creates a national online job registry run by the Department of Labor.
HR6766, Essential Caregivers Act of 2025
Guarantee essential caregivers' uninterrupted access to Medicare and Medicaid nursing facilities, including during emergency visitation restrictions. This bill would let residents name a trusted caregiver, limit when facilities can block visits, and set a fast appeals and penalty process. - Residents and families: Residents could designate or change an essential caregiver at any time, and a representative can designate one if the resident lacks capacity. At least one designated essential caregiver must be allowed daily during emergency restrictions; initial denials are capped at 7 days with a possible state-approved extension to 14 days. - Caregivers: Designated caregivers must sign and follow written facility safety protocols that cannot be stricter than rules for staff. Facilities must rely on those written protocols when claiming a caregiver violated terms, and the facility bears the burden if it argues a violation during an appeal. - Facilities and state oversight: State survey agencies must accept appeals quickly, start investigations within 2 business days, and decide within 48 hours of starting the probe. Agencies can order immediate access, require a corrective action plan within 7 days, and impose civil money penalties up to $5,000 if facilities fail to comply.
